hardass game.
Fire Arrow Plus is a okay small indy team, I believe sophomore effort at a shoot 'em up. It is very responsive, if far too fast for my tastes, but has a nice presentation. The game allows the player to switch back and forth between a straight shot and wide shot ship. Although, I found myself sticking with the wide shot. As I couldn't tell to much of a difference, and the wide shot allowed me to keep my powerups. Which make the game several times easier. Like night and day. Which was just how things were in the early days with Truxton, but feels outdated these days. I'd rather the game leave the powerups out and just tune for what the player has the whole time. Or at least keep power ups to only a couple of levels and fast to regain those levels. On novice, the game is two bosses long. Which is as far as I reached in any of the versions. I just happened to have a good run and kept my power ups. It was a tad easier, but not my much. I think the game just runs too fast. Which I can't even say is the game or that the game was developed for computers 10 years ago. As I have played few of the shmups from this dev, and I swear they run at different speeds. Fire Armor Plus is a colorful decent enough shooter. It is usually cheap enough that I don't mind all the little issues.

The longest five minutes of your life... This is essentially a single-level bullet hell shmup, but that single level mutates and iterates so many different ways that there is easily a full game worth of content. If this came out in the 90's, it's the type of thing that the old GameFan magazine would have salivated endlessly over. Hard as nails, but HIGHLY recommended. Another reviewer pointed out the Treasure influence and I have to agree. The dev has a bunch of other high-quality shooters a well and every one is well worth playing.
Divertido e desafiador.
This package contains TWO games: Fire Arrow and Fire Arrow Plus Fire Arrow is an awesome tribute to 90s arcade shooters. It's full of challenges thrown at you quickly, with all the bonus powers you need, if you manage to collect them in time. Fire Arrow is perfectly engineered to vacuum quarters out of your pocket at an early 1990s lobby or arcade. It didn't exist then, but you can play it now without burning through all your fun money. I highly recommend it. On the other hand, Fire Arrow Plus is just like a late 1990s sequel that tried too hard. The sprite stretching effects are typical of that era, but not pleasant to look at. In this game you are assaulted with a bullet hell of yoga-ball shots as big as half your ship--even with a tiny hitbox you don't have much of a chance. And the boss ships, while they look cool, they fill the whole screen area and sweep across in patterns that look unavoidable. In the late 90s, after spending two quarters I would have wandered to a different lobby. Conclusion: Definitely buy this to play Fire Arrow! But if you find Fire Arrow Plus as frustrating as I did, just ignore it and stick with the original.
One kick butt time❤️🕹️🎮
The best caravan shooter I've ever played. The art direction in this game is something to behold. It's as if the designer read my diary and created a game perfectly suited to my tastes. BUY IT.

Aqui está o puro suco dos arcades dos anos 90, mais ali do início pro meio dos anos 90. principalmente se você curte jogos de navinha, os famosos shmups. Recomendo se você um aficionado como em neste gênero.
A interesting game that i recommend with some reservations. The game play is tight, with good and precise controls, the presentation (both audio and graphics) is excelentand simple but fun bullet patterns that feel like a classic shmup from the early 90s . Basicaly is a toaplan inpired game with a single stage with time limit, but believe me in that short period you will have a really intense experience. It has a rank that changes the gameplay. The better you play the harder it gets. Unfortunaly the difficulty is high even for a shmup and probably some gamers won´t reach later parts of the stage that are much more interesting than the early ones. You may get to a point that will find the experiencce repetitive as you repeat those early parts that are not bad , but are not that great either. I would also would apreciate that there could be a button to a quick restart as sometimes you may have a early bad run and you have to pause, go to the menu and restart all over again. Considering the relation quality price and other offers in the market i can´t recomend this game at full price for the reasons mentioned above. I bought it with a big discount and i am quite satisfied. Very good game for short bursts.
